What a general dentist does

A general dentist is your main dentist for everyday oral health. At Genuine Care Dental in Saratoga, CA, general dentistry means keeping your teeth and gums healthy for the long run, and treating problems early when they do appear.

Preventive care first

A good dental visit is one where nothing needs fixing. Preventive care includes:

  • Regular dental checkups, with oral cancer screening and digital X-rays when needed
  • Professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar
  • Sealants and fluoride to help protect teeth from decay

Everyone's mouth is different, so we tailor how often you visit. Most people do well with a checkup about every six months, and we may suggest more or less often depending on your history.

Fixing what needs fixing

When a tooth needs help, we handle everyday repairs such as fillings, crowns, and gum care, and we explain each option before we begin. Dr. Rong also treats more advanced needs in the same office, so you rarely have to start over with someone new.

People often put off care because they are unsure what to expect, so we describe each step before we begin, and you can ask us to pause at any time.

When to see us right away

Act promptly if you have tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, bleeding gums, or a lost filling. See our emergency dentist page for more.

Your mouth also tells us about your general health, so we note changes in your gums, tongue, and bite from one visit to the next.

Nervous? Tell us. We offer sedation options, and we never judge.

About Genuine Care Dental

Everyday dentistry works well when you are relaxed enough to keep coming back. We didn't want it to feel like a dental office, so we didn't build one. Warm wood, real plants, a couch you'd actually choose to sit on, and chairs picked for comfort as much as function, all so you forget where you actually are.

Dr. Rong and Mia lead our practice, and their expert team helps carry out the same idea of unhurried, respectful care at every appointment.

Take an anxiety blanket with a calming aroma, a neck pillow, lip balm, or dark sunglasses. Charge your phone for free, catch a show on the screens, and stop by the coffee bar first.
